Nica
/Sounds like "NEE" (as in "knee") + "kah" (as in "car")/
A Nicaraguan, someone from Nicaragua. It's the short, informal, affectionate way to refer to someone from that country, used proudly by Nicaraguans themselves and everyone in Central America.
“We nicas make the best gallo pinto.”
“My neighbor is nica and always brings me nacatamales.”

Turro
An untrustworthy person who acts in bad faith or uses cunning to get an advantage over others. In Uruguay "turro" can be a direct insult or a resigned description of someone known for operating outside the bounds of honesty. Buyer beware.
